I fight cynicism. It`s too easy. It`s really boring. It`s much harder to be positive and see the wonder of everything. Cynicism is a bunch of people who aren`t as talented as other people, knocking them because they make them feel even more untalented.
Ewan McGregor
Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time.
Sara Paddison
Smart people have the brains, but stupid people have the balls
Ana Sáez González
The existence of other people is essentially awkward.
Lionel Shriver
Maybe a person's world can grow bigger in all the right ways, not too wide that it becomes shallow, just large enough to preserve its depth.
Deb Caletti
If history is to be creative, to anticipate a possible future without denying the past, it should, I believe, emphasize new possibilities by disclosing those hidden episodes of the past when, even if in brief flashes, people showed their ability to resist, to join together, occasionally to win. I am supposing, or perhaps only hoping, that our future may be found in the past's fugitive movements of compassion rather than in its solid centuries of warfare.
Howard Zinn
Neither sugar nor salt tastes particularly good by itself. Each is at its best when used to season other things. Love is the same way. Use it to "season" people.
Vera Nazarian

Irene Butter
Good people protect people they love even if that means that pretending that everything is okay.
Ron McLarty
Mean people suck
Jim Goad
Polly felt questing eyes boring into her. She was embarrassed, of course. But not for the obvious reason. It was for the other one, the little lesson that life sometimes rams home with a stick: you are not the only one watching the world. Other people are people; while you watch them they watch you, and they think about you while you think about them. The world isn’t just about you.
Terry Pratchett
I wasn’t a nerd, mind you, but I’d spent a lot of my youth studying Epics, so I’d had limited experience with social interaction. I mixed with ordinary people about the same way that a bucket of paint mixed with a bag of gerbils.
Brandon Sanderson
Only people who're positive enough to have friends have enemies. When you're as glum and morose as he was, people just give up and go away.
Ellis Peters
Indifferentism is the worst kind of disease that can affect people.
B.R. Ambedkar
Cool people are only cool for the first thirty minutes of knowing them. After that, they just become annoying.
Carroll Bryant
Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.
Sun Tzu
We never see other people anyway, only the monsters we make of them.
Colson Whitehead
It's amazing. The moment you show cash, everyone knows your language.
Aravind Adiga
People are like animals. Some are happiest penned in, some need to roam free. You go to recognize what's in her nature and accept it.
Jeannette Walls
If you stare at someone long enough, they'll eventually look back at you.
Cory Doctorow
He was like one of those pictures full of small errors, the kind you could only pick out by searching the image from every angle, and even then, a few always slipped by. On the surface, Eli seemed perfectly normal, but now and then Victor would catch a crack, a sideways glance, a moment when his roommate's face and his words, his look and his meaning, would not line up. Those fleeting slices fascinated Victor. It was like watching two people, one hiding in the other's skin. And their skin was always too dry, on the verge of cracking and showing the color of the thing beneath.
Victoria Schwab
He hates me more," says Peeta. "I don't think people in general are his sort of thing.
Suzanne Collins
I could never leave,' Pine Sap said. 'Why?' she asked.Pine Sap shrugged, and gestured in the direction of the village. 'Because I think people must be the same everywhere. Only these people are my bones.
Jodi Lynn Anderson
Perhaps its not the world that is soundless but we who are deaf.
Margaret Atwood
People don't deserve the restraint we show by not going into delirium in front of them.
Louis-Ferdinand Céline
Whenever someone acts one way in public - goes overboard, if you know what i mean - it'll turn out they have an opposite side. The quietest person will have the worst temper. The happiest person will suffer the worst depressions. The best thing about a person is the worst thing.
Ethan Black
When people keep telling you that you can’t do a thing, you kind of like to try it.
Margaret Chase Smith
It's way too easy to see the real face of a person. They're amiable and full of pretense when they want something from you, but the minute you don't give in, back away or put yourself first (like they do) is the minute they show you who they really are.
Donna Lynn Hope
A name can't begin to encompass the sum of all her parts. But that's the magic of names, isn't it? That the complex, contradictory individuals we are can be called up complete and whole in another mind through the simple sorcery of a name.
Charles de Lint
Damn real live people, getting in the way of peaceful ideals.
John Scalzi
My name is David Charleston.I kill people with super powers.
Brandon Sanderson
Sure, anyone can name fourteen dead people. But we're disorganized mourners, so a lot of people end up remembering Shakespeare, and no one ends up remembering the person he wrote Sonnet Fifty-five about.
John Green
Oh how I hate people!
Mervyn Peake
My parents taught me never to judge others based on whom they love, what color their skin is, or their religion. Why make life miserable for someone when you could be using your energy for good? We don’t need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful. When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.
Taylor Swift
You don't want to be rude but you have to be careful - there are a lot of strange people out there.(Goldman attributes this quote to Cliff Robertson.)
William Goldman
Never judge someone's character based on the words of another. Instead, study the motives behind the words of the person casting the bad judgment.
Suzy Kassem
When you are so ashamed of your actions, thoughts, or intentions, you lie rather than accepting yourself for who you really are—or, in this case, pretend something happened when it didn’t. The idea of how others see you becomes more important than the reality of you.
Michael J. Sullivan
People. You must love people. Men are admirable. I wantto vomit—and suddenly, there it is: the Nausea
Jean-Paul Sartre
The people who love you will guide you like bright lights into the other worlds.
Josephine Angelini
We are just two people. Not that much separates us. Not nearly as much as I'd thought.
Kathryn Stockett
Every once in a while, people need to be in the presence of things that are really far away.
Ian Frazier
I wonder if other mothers feel a tug at their insides, watching their children grow up into the people they themselves wanted so badly to be.
Jodi Picoult
The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.
Joe Ancis
I'm not so fond of people myself, Evvy, but I took my vows for a reason. There are two classes of people in the world, the destroyers and the builders. I want to build, not destroy. You need to ask yourself who you're going to be.
Tamora Pierce
A people free to choose will always choose peace.
Ronald Reagan
An army of the people is invincible!
Mao Zedong
People come and go.
Cecelia Ahern
...but I guess it's better for people to shut up rather than rather than say something nasty. -ONE NIGHT @ THE CALL CENTER Chapter 1 page 22
Chetan Bhagat
It's never the differences between people that surprise us. It's the things that, against all odds, we have in common.
Jodi Picoult
I think he just loved being with the bears because they didn't make him feel bad. I get it too. When he was with the bears, they didn't care that he was kind of weird, or that he'd gotten into trouble for drinking too much and using drugs(which apparently he did a lot of). They didn't ask him a bunch of stupid questions about how he felt, or why he did what he did. They just let him be who he was.
Michael Thomas Ford
When you steal a people's language, you leave their soul bewildered.
John O'Donohue
When people complain of your complexity, they fail to remember that they made fun of your simplicity.
Michael Bassey Johnson
As the new work fills my notebooks, I've come to realize that the characters in my stories were so real because I really did want to get close to people, I really did want to know them. It was just easier to do it on paper, one step removed.
Charles de Lint
People appear like angels until you hear them speak. You must not rush to judge people by the colour of their cloaks, but by the content of their words!
Israelmore Ayivor
People always wanted someone to blame, didn't they?
Eileen Wilks
Their life is mysterious, it is like a forest; from far off it seems a unity, it can be comprehended, described, but closer it begins to separate, to break into light and shadow, the density blinds one. Within there is no form, only prodigious detail that reaches everywhere: exotic sounds, spills of sunlight, foliage, fallen trees, small beasts that flee at the sound of a twig-snap, insects, silence, flowers.And all of this, dependent, closely woven, all of it is deceiving. There are really two kinds of life. There is, as Viri says, the one people believe you are living, and there is the other. It is this other which causes the trouble, this other we long to see.
James Salter
That was the thing to remember about all monsters, They love to frightenpeople, but the minute you stare them down, they turn tail and run.
Jeannette Walls
The most dangerous people in the world are not the tiny minority instigating evil acts, but those who do the acts for them. For example, when the British invaded India, many Indians accepted to work for the British to kill off Indians who resisted their occupation. So in other words, many Indians were hired to kill other Indians on behalf of the enemy for a paycheck. Today, we have mercenaries in Africa, corporate armies from the western world, and unemployed men throughout the Middle East killing their own people - and people of other nations - for a paycheck. To act without a conscience, but for a paycheck, makes anyone a dangerous animal. The devil would be powerless if he couldn't entice people to do his work. So as long as money continues to seduce the hungry, the hopeless, the broken, the greedy, and the needy, there will always be war between brothers.
Suzy Kassem
People are good or half good or a quarter good, and it changes all the time- but even on the best day nobody's perfect.
Colum McCann
